Dos Pinos Deploys 80 AI Agents to Cut Errors and Speed Product Launches by 10 Days

Costa Rica’s Dos Pinos has deployed about 80 AI agents across packaging, legal, IT, risk and sales workflows, while rolling out Microsoft Copilot tools to more than 1,000 employees.
The push is aimed at lowering costs and protecting competitiveness in a tightly regulated, low-margin dairy business where small labeling or process errors can trigger delays, penalties or recalls.
One packaging-review agent built in Copilot Studio cut design-stage inconsistencies by more than 50% and reduced average time to market by roughly 10 days, according to the cooperative.
Dos Pinos, which has 6,000 employees, processes milk from about 1,500 member farms totaling 1.3 million liters a day, giving even minor workflow gains operational impact at scale.
A 15-person AI ambassadors program is training staff to build and use agents, and the cooperative plans to expand Copilot adoption across the organization through 2026.

Is this AI initiative truly empowering workers, or is it a quiet strategy for future mass layoffs?
